About Hemlata

Hemlata Mistry is a counsellor who uses trauma-focused therapy to help people move through painful experiences. She draws on three years of practice in the United Kingdom and aims to make sessions straightforward and respectful. People come to her for help with stress, anxiety and coping with big life changes like grief and loss.

Her approach is practical and person-centred. She listens first and tailors conversations to each person’s needs. That might mean working on anger, building self-esteem, or finding ways to manage impulses linked to addiction or ADHD.

Hemlata pays attention to how early relationships and attachment can shape how people relate now. She also works with issues such as codependency, feelings of emptiness, and the emotional impact of separation and bereavement. She uses trauma-focused methods when past events are affecting day-to-day life.

Sessions are offered in English and reflect the values of sensitivity and compassion she describes. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk things through and practise new ways of coping. The focus is on helping people feel steadier and more able to make choices that suit them.

Practical matters are handled clearly. Hemlata uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and locations are within the United Kingdom. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

Trauma-informed tools and online working

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people look at how past hurts affect their feelings and actions now. It usually involves talking through difficult memories and building safer ways of coping, which can reduce flashbacks and overwhelming reactions.

Hemlata pairs trauma-focused work with straightforward, practical conversations. She will collaborate with each person to decide what methods feel most helpful, taking into account their goals and what feels manageable. Choosing the right approach is a joint process and may change as therapy progresses.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the specific formats before booking. The main practical benefit of remote work is flexibility - it can make it easier to fit appointments around work, caregiving or travel. Online sessions can also reduce time spent travelling and allow shorter check-ins when needed. A therapist will discuss how to make each session work for daily life and will help choose an approach that suits your routine and preferences.
